What are the key-usage and extended key-usage extension values
in the certificate issued by MS signtool?

Once a certificate has been issued, it cannot be changed.  You
have to reissue the certificate (as a new one) if you want any
changes in it.

You should be able to generate a certificate of whatever duration
you desire with the tools; you just need to specify it explicitly
when creating the certificate.

Out of curiosity, what is the key-size for the key-pair of this
40-year certificate?
